SENATE COMMITTEE ON ACADEMIC PLANNING

Date.. .

DECEMBER 28 1982

Actions undertaken by the Senate Graduate Studies Committee and by the

Senate Committee on Academic Planning give rise to the following motion:-

MOTION:

"That Senate approve and recommend approval to the Board of

Governors, as set forth in S.83-17, the proposed new Master

of Business Administration Program."

The proposal was approved in principle by SCAP in July, 1982, went

forward to the Assessment Committee for New Graduate Programs, and was discussed,

external assessors were appointed and reported, a number of changes were incorporated

•

and further discussion was held with the Assessment Committee. The report was

approved by the Senate Graduate Studies Committee and was transmitted to SCAP,

including some revisions. Debate at that body indicated the need to write the

proposal under currently existing UCBC guidelines for new programs and this has been

done in the present proposal. SCAP approval was given December 8, 1982. The

organization of the data is designed to ensure that all required items are addressed

in as straightforward a manner as possible. The rewriting and positioning of

material is a direct attempt to correct deficiencies in the original proposal.

The comments of the external assessors were based on the original proposal;

a number of changes were made; there are some differences of opinion on philosophy/

practice; the rewriting addresses a number of these issues; the Dean of Business

Administration has included a memorandum responding to the assessors' comments.

SCAR instructed that, in view of the length of the documentation, some

guidelines to the material be given in summary form. They follow:

This is my memorandum of transmittal to you regarding our proposal

for a new residence M.B.A. program. This memoranaum supplants my

original memorandum of December, 1981 which was forwarded on the then

existing guidelines for new program proposals. This proposal is now

fully redrafted according to the presently existing guidelines.

Accordingly, the statement of the philosophy and objectives of the

program, its costs, entrance requirements, etc. are now more clearly

stated.

In addition to the main body of the proposal there are four Appendices:

1)

Appendix A is the Library Resources Report,

2)

Appendix B contains the new course proposals, outlines and reading

lists,

3)

Appendix C contains the reports of the External Assessors together

with a memorandum from me responding to their comments,

4) Appendix D contains the copy of the new graduate calendar.

I wish to call your attention and the attention of the members of the

Senate Committee on Academic Planning to my memorandum in AppendixC

(pages C 20 to

.

0 22). Because the proposal which was reviewed by the

External Assessors was under the pre-existing program guidelines, there was

some confusion as to the philosophy and objectives of the program. I feel

that many of the objections that the assessors raised were due to the lack

of clarity in the original document. Therefore, I specifically draw your

attention to my memorandum responding to their comments.

If there is any further information you or the Committee need from. us,

please do not hesitate to contact either,John Herzog or myself.

A.

Philosophy and Objectives o-----proosedProrarn

Simon Fraser University has, since 1968, offered an Executive

M.B.A. Program. That Program has had a highly successful history.

Applications remain at a high level, the quality of applicants and

students accepted into the Program has increased over the years,

and graduates number nearly 400 -- more than any other graduate

program at the University. The Program has acquired a reputation

for excellence, both within the University and in the broader

community. Several of our graduates have-reached the highest

levels of management in government and industry.

I

Why, then, is there a need to offer yet another Program --

indeed one so different in kind? The answer is to be found both

in the acknowledged needs of Canadian (and, more particularly,

British Columbian) society for well-educated managers and in

identifying the kinds of programs. which will best meet these

needs. The demands are great, but the sources of supply are all

too limited. In fact, the seriousness of the situation recently

has been underscored by the SSHRC through implementation of a

Strategic Grants Program specifically aimed at management

studies. The only question is whether the opportuities can be

seized upon in a manner which is fully consistent with our

educational philosophy, with student needs, and with the needs

of society.

1.

Educational Philosophy

We believe that the M.B.A. Degree should signify what the

letters imply -- a Master of Business Administration. Mastery,

in the educational setting, need not imply, even within the same

discipline, a uniformity of process. Different client (student)

groups will come to us with different requirements. The end

product we seek, however, is the same for all groups. The

graduate of either of our Programs should have a broad per-

spective on management, a capacity for dealing with complex,

strategic issues in an uncertain and dynamic environment, and

exceptional proficiency in at least one of the functional areas

of administration.

In our Executive M.B.A. Program, entrants will have already

acquired functional proficiency. This may have come through

previous formal education in some discipline such as engin-

eering, accounting, quantitative analysis (including computer

science), or the natural sciences, or it may have come through

the acquisition of on-the-job training, following a liberal arts

or humanities education in university. However that expertise

may have been obtained, the Executive M.B.A. entrant will have

accumulated substantial work experience and will have already

ascended to the middle or upper reaches of management. What

this kind of student needs is an education which enables him/her

to view management problems in a comprehensive framework -- to

grasp both the rational and the human aspects of decision-

making. The Executive M.B.A. curriculum is designed to attain

these ends, for this special type of student.

The M.B.A. Program we now propose is aimed at a much dif-

ferent kind of clientele. The typical entrant into this Program

will have already completed a Bachelor's Degree in Business

Administration. That course of study will have covered the

"core" areas of Business and will have been capped off with such

.

---

.

-3

-

integrating courses as Business Policy, and Business, Govern-

ment, and Society. There may have been, additionally, an

opportunity for the student to gain some degree of speciali-

zation, but at a level which is appropriate for undergraduate --

not graduate -- students. Our own undergraduate calendar

requirements are typical of those for such programs. What is

important to keep in mind is that such degree-holders will have

already been exposed to the integrative aspects of management

studies. That background, together with the student's emerging

interests in one or more of the functional areas of administra-

tion, can be utilized as a basis for developing a higher level

of technical skill. We propose to develop such skills, not only

within specific functional areas but in research and

investigative techniques as well.

2.

Program Objectives

The objectives of this Program are readily ascertained from

our educational philosophy. Simply put, these are:

"To prepare students for life careers in management by

.

giving them mastery over some functional discipline

and over investigative/research method. It is assumed

that students embarking upon this Program will have

already attained command over the "core" subjects of

Business Administration and the integrative framework

from which management issues must be addressed."

More specifically, the Program is designed to meet the

educational aspirations of recent graduates of Business

Administration Programs (or those who have otherwise acquired

proficiency in the "core" disciplines) by providing them with:

1.

Advanced, graduate instruction within a functional

area of Business Administration and one or more

supporting areas.

2.

Instruction in research methods, together with

supervised execution of an applied research

project or original thesis.

While our aim is to enable students who have the personal

qualities necessary to reach top management positions to do so,

we are also cognizant of the fact that many of our graduates

will not reach these lofty heights. Whether they do or not, our

intention is to prepare each of them to assume a responsible

position in mid- to upper-management ranks, staff positions,

.

management consulting, or in Business education at the college

or university level.

---

-

4 -

An additional aim is to permit students in other Programs

S

at the University to pursue studies in selected Business

Administration fields and to enable our own M.B.A. candidates to

choose, if they wish, supporting fields of study in Departments

outside Business Administration.

B.

Relationship of the Program to the Role and Mission of the

---------------------------------------------------

While the proposed program is clearly intended to meet the

demand for more highly qualified managers, it will have, as

well, salutory effects on other programs within the University.

Students in existing programs in Natural Resource Management,

Pest Management,Computer Science, Economics, and Criminology

(Criminal Justice Administration) will have available to them

courses in Administration and Management which do not now

exist. In addition, students in our own Executive M.B.A.

Program will have new electives from which to choose.

It is also contemplated that students within the proposed

M.B.A. Program will incorporate courses from other departments

(beyond the few listed) in their choices of supporting fields.

In short, there will be ample opportunity for inter-departmental

involvement, in the design of individual students' programs.

C.

M.B.A. Programs at other Institutions

The traditional M.B.A. Program, which serves as the "model"

for the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business

(AACSB) has been widely adopted in Canada. It must be noted,

however, that specific calendar requirements across the U.S. and

Canada vary widely. Moreover, even where calendar requirements

appear to be the same, the quality of students, the quality of

Facitty,. and the quality of support facilities (.e.g, libraries

and computer facilities) are anything but uniform. Indeed, both

the AACSB and the Canadian Federation of Deans (of Business

Administration) encourage flexibility and experimentation.

In this regard, it is useful to contrast what we propose

with what U.B.C. is already doing -- and apparently doing very

well. The U.B.C. M.B.A. Program requires core studies in

Decision Analysis, Quantitative Methods, Accounting and

Management Information Systems, Economics, Human Resources

Management, Marketing, and Finance. Specialization within any

functional area is explicitly discouraged. That Program, if it

is to avoid wasteful duplication of undergraduate exposure, is

best suited to students who do not have an undergraduate degree

5

U

---

.

-5-

in Business Administration (U.B.C.'s undergraduate curriculum is

similar to our own). The M.Sc. (Business Administration)

Program at U.B.C. "allows as much concentration in any one field

of study as may be consistent with the individual student's

educational goals." It does not require entering students to

have prior preparation in Business Administration, nor is there

any common core of study. Specialization within some Business

subject is the primary aim and preparation for general

management cannot be assumed for the M.Sc.-holder.

D.

corn

a

The Program we propose, while it is similar in some

respects to M.B.A. Programs offered elsewhere in Canada, is

clearly distinct from either the M.B.A. or M.Sc. (Business

Administration) offered at U.B.C. It is also quite distinct, as

noted previously, from our Executive M.B.A. Program. This

Program will require, for admission, an undergraduate degree in

Business Administration or Commerce. Neither of U.B.C.'s

Programs do. In addition, this Program builds specialization

and research training on the undergraduate "core" offerings.

S

U.B.C. requires no such background for either of the degrees it

offers.

We have no quarrel with U.B.C. or with other Universities

in Canada as to what qualities the well-educated manager should

possess. We are merely attempting to recognize the fact that

students seeking the M.B.A. Degree will not necessarily all have

the same backgrounds or maturity. Our Executive M.B.A. Program

addresses the needs of one group; U.B.C.'s Programs address the

needs of another; and the Program we propose addresses the needs

of yet another. One, we might add, that is both large and

growing rapidly in Canada.

E.

Curriculum

Among potential major fields of specialization, six have

been identified as falling within the teaching interests of a

sufficient number of faculty so as to make viable commitments to

them. These are:

Accounting and Management Information Systems

Business, Government and Society

Finance

Management Science

•

Marketing

Organization Behavior

Considering the research requirements, fields of speciali-

zation, and supporting fields required for the proposed Program,

32 courses are directly identified with the degree. Nine of

these courses are currently listed in the Graduate Calendar

(though under the Economics Department heading), nineteen are

new subject matter courses, and four, are new Selected Topics,

Directed Studies, or Research Methods courses.

Details-of-Consultation with Non-University_^Z2LiSies

Formal consultations with non-university agencies were

considered to be neither necessary nor appropriate in designing

the proposed Program. The Program's design, however,, was

clearly influenced by the experiences of other Universities, our

own 14 year experience with the Executive M.B.A. Program,

informal consultation with potential employers, and consul-

tations with our own Business Administration Advisory Board.

There is no question that the 2er capita number of degrees

•

awarded in management studies in Canada

-Is

-

15w by comparison,

say, to the United States. This deficiency is widely recognized

by both employers and universities. Canadian universities have,

generally, attempted to imitate U.S. standards in designing

their degree programs. Unfortunately, this imitation has not

always recognized the fact that 'applicants to Canadian graduate

programs may bring with them a set of experiences which TfFf

from those of their American counterparts. The experience of

Canadian universities with management programs in general and

graduate management programs in particular is quite limited. It

comes as no surprise, therefore, that' imitating others, in view

of the diversity of cultural background, carries its own set of

problems. Canadian Masters' Programs are not always designed

for an audience appropriate to Canada.

Our Executive M.B.A. Program was aimed at' satisfying the

needs of a particular sub-set of potential applicants -- those

with limited formal education in business or economic subjects,

but with considerable experience in a managerial role. That

Program, given the target audience, has worked very well. Our

experiences have shown, however, that there is an even larger

audience which goes unserved -- those who have majored in

business subjects as undergraduates who now wish to obtain an

advanced degree in management studies.

Over the years, our informal contacts with recruiters have

.

led us to an inescapable, though troublesome, conclusion. That

is, what recruiters want to see in a job applicant differs sub-

---

-8-

stantially from what senior executives profess to want. The

recruiter is much more concerned about what the prospective

employee can deliver to the firm now. .He expects that the

managerial perspective of which senior managers speak will be

there -- as a bonus. What he is interested in is the shorter

term, before the employee becomes Vice-President or President of

the organization. Ultimately, he wants to see the same

qualities emerge, biif

—

Ti

:

i EFie interim there is less fulfilling

work to be done. The employee must perform -- to earn his

spurs, so to speak -- before becoming President or Vice-

President. The end product that both the recruiter and the

senior executive seek is the same, but the perspective is

different. We believe that the Program we propose will satisfy

both the senior executive and the recruiter.

Our beliefs seem to be confirmed by our Business

Administration Advisory Board -- which is comprised of senior

members from both the public and private sectors of the British

Columbia economy. Several members of that Board, it must be

noted, are graduates of our own Executive M.B.A. Program. While

no "official" votes have been taken, it is clear that a majority

of that Board would agree with and endorse the steps we

propose. Moreover, the views espoused by. individual members of

that Board appear to be entirely consonant with the aspirations

of Canadian society.

.

III. NEED FOR PROGRAM

A.

The Needs of Society

We have already noted that the need for new graduate

programs in management studies has been recognized by the Social

Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. The funding

of a Strategic Grants Program by that body was initiated only

after long and careful study. Thus, the needs for such programs

are well-documented.

We have also noted earlier that the programs which do exist

in British Columbia fall far short of the needs foreseen by the

SSHRC. Because of their design and entry requirements, existing

programs in the Province bypass large numbers of people who have

both the

.

inclination and the capacity to move, into managerial

positions. Our own Executive M.B.A. Program, with its experi-

ence requirement, is ill-suited to either the undergraduate with

a Business major or to recent graduates of other than Business

disciplines. U.B.C.'s Programs have similar shortcomings. We

cite below some of the indicators of these deficiences.

---

B.

Forecast Enrolment

There is evidence of a substantial unmet student demand for

specialized graduate programs in Business Administration in

British Columbia. Some of the indications of this interest are:

1.

Recent growth in the Faculty's undergraduate enrolment,

averaging over 25% per year for the past six years. It

might be noted that this growth in undergraduate

enrolments in Business Administration is a national

phenomenon, and one that assures us of a growing pool

of potential entrants to the kind of M.B.A. Program we

are proposing.

2.

The M.B.A. office is besieged with calls and inquiries

from students with good academic backgrounds, but who

lack the experience necessary for entry into the

Executive M.B.A. Program. Many of those who enquire

would prefer a more specialized Master's Program.

While complete records of such enquiries are not

routinely maintained, we cite the following (non-

random) sample, taken from unsolicited letters received

•

between October 22, 1981 and April 22, 1982:

Canada (11 from B.C.)

Europe

28

India

Bangladesh

3.0

Middle East

.

4

South.East Asia

45

South America

7

United States

11

Total

In addition, there have been numerous telephone enquiries

from B.C. residents which have not been tabulated in the

foregoing.

.

3.

Many of our own graduates, who elect to enter Master's

Programs at other universities, have stated they would

enter a Master's Program in Business Administration at

S.F.U. if one were available. Indeed, they have often

requested that we institute such a program.

4.

We are attracting both M.A. and Ph.D. candidates into

business courses in the Graduate Academic Program in

Economics. This enrolment has been fairly small for

several reasons. First, we discourage many applicants

.

because of limited course offerings, and because super-

vision requires an enormous amount of individual

instruction for which the professor receives no

---

- 10 -

teaching credit. Second, prospective students recognize

the paucity of courses. Additionally, the requirement

to take Economics as the core subject and the fact that

graduates are awarded an M.A. rather than an M.B.A. are

major deterrents.

S. U.B.C. is confronting pressures similar to those at

S.F.U. On May 14, 1982, for example, they provided the

following information about their M.B.A. Program:

- 640 applications received to date for entry in Fall

1982

- last year they accepted 125 to the regular daytime

program

- 45 is the.maximum they can accept for the evening

program. They always admit this maximum number.

6.

The above figures indicate that there is substantial

unmet demand for graduate education in business -- a

fact which is known to exist nationally as well as here

in British Columbia.

7.

For the student who is entering (or after a period of

reorientation, re-entering) the job market, the

specialization and acquisition of research skills

should provide an initial advantage.

8.

As is also well known, there is a shortage of qualified

university-level professors of Business Administration

across Canada. In recent years, the ratio of

university-level teaching vacancies in Business Admin-

istration to new Business Ph.D.s produced has been on

the order of 25 to 1. The Program we propose will

facilitate the movement of qualified students into

doctoral studies both at S.F.U. and at other uni-

versities. It will also provide the means for students

who have obtained Ph.D.s in other, less critical,

fields to enter into the teaching of Business

Administration.

9.

The foregoing factors indicate, if anything, demand

pressures beyond those which we could reasonably

accommodate. As is noted below (see Section IV-C),

current faculty plus additions to staff could only

support approximately 30 entrants per year. Further-

more, these would be net additions to the University

and (probably) to Provincial graduate enrolments, given

our aim of reaching a heretofore unserviced sector of

the market.

.

C.

Tn^^s of Jobs for which Graduates will be Prepared

Because our graduates will have a field specialization and

applied research skills, we anticipate that they will be much

sought after in the employment market. Part of their attrac-

tion, of course, will be attributable to their possession of an

M.B.A. Degree. Beyond that, however, they should be well pre-

pared to assume responsible positions -- typically of a fairly

specialized nature, such as marketing research, financial

analysis, organizational development, management science, or

accounting. Many of the jobs for which they would be prepared

would initially be of a research nature. Some students might

even use the Program as a springboard for entry into a Ph.D.

Program. Others might teach in community colleges or technical

institutes. In the longer run, however, those with the

requisite native abilities should be prepared to ultimately

emerge as senior level managers.

Placement History

To the extent that placement history is applicable to

the

Program we propose, our Executive M.B.A. is the only guide.

Unfortunately (for comparison purposes), entrants (and indeed

graduands) of that Program are, as a prerequisite to admission,

already in responsible management positions. Such individuals

are not, of course, comparable to those we hope to graduate from

the proposed Program.

IV.

PRESENT AND PROJECTED RESOURCES

A.

Administrative Personnel

Because we already have the Executive M.B.A. Program, we do

not anticipate any need to allocate additional academic per-

.

sonnel to the administrative side of the proposed Program. Our

current M.B.A. Director will assume this additional responsi-

bility. We do anticipate, however, the need to hire an addit-

ional member of the clerical staff to handle the administrative

details of the Program. In terms of 1982 salaries, this should

entail an additional expense of approximately $18,000 per year.

While it is evident from the foregoing listings that we have

the faculty expertise to mount the proposed Program, we could not

staff the new courses required or provide the necessary research

supervision without expanding our faculty positions. Our current

Undergraduate and Executive M.B.A. Programs are already over-taxing

faculty resources, making a simple reallocation impossible.

---

- 16 -

S

Under present circumstances, if we limit admissions to 30

students per year and assume that they all take the required 9

courses under the Research Project option, then, over two years

they will generate 30 x 9 = 270 student-course enrolments (135

student-course enrolments per year). With 30 students admitted

each year and two entering classes taking courses at anyone time,

there will be approximately 135 x 2 = 270 student-course enrolments

per year, plus 40 to 50 Research Projects to supervise.

If one-half of the course enrolments were in new courses, this

would total 135 per year. Using an average course enrolment of 10

students, this would yield 13 new course offerings per year. In

the remaining 135 course enrolments an additional 3 course

offerings could be added, considering increased student loads on

existing courses. This gives 16 course offerings. The net effect

of 16 course additions would be a required expansion of-4 FTE

faculty positions.

Looking at-requirements from another perspective, there are 28

courses, 9 of which are part of the present M.A. in Economics. In

the past two years, 7 of these 9 courses have been offered with

average class sizes slightly larger than 7 students (range, 3-22

students). With the new M.B.A. entrants, class sizes in these

courses will be larger and they will be offered more frequently.

•

Of the 19 proposed new .graduate courses (excluding selected

topics, directed readings and thesis courses), not all would be

offered every year. Assuming 16 additional course offerings per

year (including more frequent offerings of existing courses), then

4 FTE faculty will be needed. With a total of 23 course offerings

and 270 student-course enrolments per year, average class size will

he about 11 students. Of course, the combined Business and

Economics courses should have enrolments larger than this figure.

The requirements of the Executive M.B.A. Program can be used

as a comparison. It utilizes 6 FTE faculty plus project super-

visors. (TheM.B.A. Director is included in this figure.)

While it is clear to us that additional faculty positions will

be required, we do not believe it will be necessary to budget

explicitly for graduate student support. First of all, the Program

itself will not require either T.A.s or R.A.s. It should be evi-

dent, however, that our ability to attract good graduate students

will depend, in part, on the financial support we are able to

offer. Customarily, R.A.s have been supported through research

grants obtained by faculty from such organizations as SSHRC. We

foresee, if anything, an enhancement of these opportunities as

faculty members are able to work more closely with research-

oriented students.

:

---

-

17 -

fl

On the T.A. side, our problem has been one of scarcity rather

than excess supply. Because of our need for Teaching Assistance in

the Undergraduate Programs, we have given support, in major

proportions, to students in other Departments of the University

-- particularly in Economics. In spite of this, we have fallen far

short of being able to obtain qualified T.A.s from the University's

graduate student pool. As a result, we have been forced to hire

large numbers of T.A.s from off-campus. We anticipate that

without reducing T.A. support, for example, to Economics graduate

students, we will be able to offer substantial support to our own

qualified applicants by merely switching from off-campus to

on-campus hirings.

C.

As the attached Librarian's Report (Appendix A) indicates, we

are within 80-90 percent of meeting "ideal" requirements for

mounting a Program of the type we propose -- in all areas. We see

no reason, therefore, why we should seek library acquisitions

beyond those which would come in the normal course of events.

Clearly, acquisitions of new works and maintenance of established

•

journal subscription lists will be required, but these requirements

do not go beyond those which would apply within any credible

academic •institution. For this reason, acquisitions have not been

separately budgeted for in this proposal.

D.

Capital-C.osts

This Program will impose no special capital cost require-

ments on the University -- only those which are associated with

expanding demands on already limited space. Because, however, of

the modest numbers of new students and faculty contemplated, we see

no reason to budget separately for this item. On the other hand,

there will be a need for providing for additional operating budget,

especially as related to computer costs.

Computer cost estimates,which are based on expenses currently

being incurred in our Economics Graduate Programs for student

research, could amount to as much as $220 per student per year (in

1982 dollars) -- for an annual total of approximately $10,000.

Instructional computer costs could easily add another $10,000 per

year to that figure -- for a total of $20,000.

Other operating budget items, including office supplies,

printing, honoraria, field travel, special departmental require-

ments, and audio visual (Instruction Media Centre) services could

.

amount to $111 per student per year. Assuming average annual

enrolments of 75-80 students per year -- which includes an

---

- 18 -

attrition rate of about 25 percent plus completion slippage into

the third year -- these expenses should average (again, in 1982

dollars) about $9,000.

E. External FundinZ

We do not anticipate any formal commitment of external funding

in the launching of the proposed Program. We have, however,

already referred to SSHRC°'s initiation of a Strategic Grants

Program in Management Studies. Currently, SSHRC's Program is

limited to funding doctoral completion studies, reorientation

grants, research grants, and resarch workshops. We expect that

individual faculty memberswill apply (and qualify) for research

graits, thus providing additional R.A. support, and that indi-

viduals holding Ph.D.s in areas other than Business Administration

will apply for (and qualify for) reorientation grants in Management

Studies. Either of these sources of support for graduate students

would clearly relieve the University of its burden of support, but

the extent to which such external sources can be relied upon is

clearly not yet discernable. We have, therefore, refrained from

including reference to any such support in our budget proposals.

F.

Based upon the foregoing, we would itemize our budget

requirements as follows (all in terms of 1982 dollars):

1 Support staff member @ $18,000 per annum:

$ 18,000

4 FTE faculty @ $38,000 per annum:

$152,000

Computer:

S

$ 20,000

Additional operating:

$10,000

Total

S

$200,000

We anticipate that, in the first year of operation (1983-

1984), the Program can operate successfully by incurring only

instructional computer costs ($10,000), other operating costs

($10,000) and 1 addition to support staff ($18,000). This total

($38,000) should be more than made up from additional tuition fees

and (formula-based) provincial grants. Therefore, we are making no

request for additional UCBC grants during the first year of the

Program's operation. In subsequent years, however, such additional

funding will clearly be required.

April

23, 1982

Because the University already-has an executive MBA program that has been

in existence since

1968,

it might have been expected that no more than

superficial checking would be necessary to prove that library resources were

sufficient to support the proposed full - tire academic MBA:. However, since

the proposed program differs in some respects from the present one, it

has been treated as if it were a new program.

The main differences from the established program are:

I. The students who will be attracted to it will most likely

be recent graduates of a business administration

undergraduate program, rather than working executives with

varied backgrounds and training and valuable 'life

experience'.

5

2.

Given the serious shortage of Canadian-trained faculty

in this field, the program

will

aim to provide the

first graduate level training to potential business

administration teachers.

Therefore, the assessment of the library collection has had to be

detailed enough to determine whether ther.e are sufficient specialized and

academic materials here to support this different kind of MBA program.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Generally, library support appears to be excellent in all-of these

subject fields, showing a good balance between monographs and journals, and

demonstrating that in the relatively short life of the university a strong

collection has been developed. Good support is evident also from other social

-

science areas, such as psychology, sociology and political science, and from

the documents collection.

It.is essential, however, that the quality of this

collection be maintained if the full-time Masters' program is to thrive.

Though its incremental impact on the library's collection will only be part

of the total and is not measurable until the

-

program is in full operation,

it should not be forgotten that graduates make far greater use of a library

than undergraduates, and that they use the most expensive materials. The.

checking that has been carried out in this survey can be used to good effect.

in spending the moeny we haveto the best possible advantage.

In addition

every feasible effort should be made to obtain extra funds through grants

and gifts to enrich the collection and keep it up to graduate standards.

COURSE OUTLINE

COURSE: .ECON 815

. INSTRUCTOR:R. G.rauer

TITLE:. Portfolio Theory

.

. SEMESTER: Fall, 1981

"Portfolio Theory" has been a standard diet for graduate

students in Business Schools and Economics Departments in a

number of universities in North America. As such, one

should not be surprised that the ámóunt of research in

portfolio theory in the past 15 years. has been phenomenal

and a reasonably unified body of knowledge appears to have

emerged. The fact that there has been extensive interest among

economists in portfolio theory suggests that perhaps one should

not interpret the word "portfolio" too narrowly. Portfolio

theory actually represents a major and pioneering.topic in the

broad field of economics under uncertainty and it is by far the

best developed at the moment.

•

To begin the description of the course, let us give It an

alternate :

but broader title: Theory of risk allocation and the

behavior of risky asset prices under rational choice.. Since

financial assets (such as stocks and bonds) happen to be prime

examples of risky assets, we first discuss the rationale for

choosing them as candidates in an optimal portfolio, given an

individual's utility function. The course will therefore begin

with the "expected utility theorem" pioneered by von-Neumann

and Morgenstern.. Given an individual's initial wealth (or

endowment) and Income, we show that his demand equation for

financial assets and consumption goods during a period can be

determined when his ut

.

i1iy function is specified. For a

given riskless rate of interest and a fixed supply of risky

assets, we then investigate how an optimal. allocation of his

initial wealth and income among safe assets (including cash),

consumption and risky assets may be determined. We subsequently

examine the general equilibrium of prices and yields of financial

assets and their determination. At this point, we ask whether

a competititve capital market allocates risk efficiently or,

alternatively stated, whether there is Pareto optimality.

at-present).

This material is discussed primarily in journal articles

that will be outlined in the course syllabus.

To gain a broader appreciation of

.

the material to be covered,

please consider that the "portfolio theory" presented in Econ 815

provides many. testable implications. A considerable part of

Econ 817, "The Theory. of Capital Markets", offered in the Spring

of 1980 will be devoted to the examination of whe.ther the

implications of portfolio theory are borne out by the empirical

evidence. (As an aside, while you can take o.ne course without

the other, or one course before the other, the preferred sequence

is 815/817).

At any ..

rate, both courses 'are expected to generate

a large number of new problems that may qualify for further

research as dissertation topics.

While on the subject of research topics let me mention that

the SFIJ faculty has demonstrated intensive research. interest in

the field of "portfolio-capital-market.theory". For example,

COURSE: ECON .8-

INSTRUCTOR: John Heaney

TITLE:

Portfolio Theory

Course Outline

SEMESTER: Summer, 1980

Every society faces the problem of determining the level and

composition of investment and allocating claims to the resulting future

(and therefore uncertain) output. In this course we will adopt the view

that the capital market is one possible institutional framework for

providing a solution to this problem. Irving-Fisher showed how the

capital market could solve the problem in a world where the future is

known with certainty.. We will begin.with his analysis, extend it to a

world of uncertainty, and investigate the conditions under which the

capital market can now solve the problem. We will pay particular

attention to the following:

1)

The role of financial contracts in achieving allocative

efficiency.

.

.

2)

Models for the valuation of financial contracts such as

stocks, options, etc.

.

.

3)

The role of profit maximization in achieving an optimal allocation

of investment among firms.

In addition topics such as the efficient markets hypothesis;

the Modigliani and Miller propositions, the success and/or failure of

empirical tests of the models,' newly proposed. tests, etc. will be

discussed.

The method of analysis used throighout. will be the optimizing

paradigm of neoclassical economics. Though the theory of capital

markets has many connections with other areas of economics such as

monetary theory, macroeconomics, the economics of information, etc.,

these will not be pursued. However those with interests in these areas

may write a term paper exploring these connections.

In addition to a term paper there will be a mid term

and

l

final,

both take home. There is no text. Reprints of journal, articles will

be supplied.

to a discussion of the , behaviour of risky security prices in an

efficient capital market. , The third topic is the dominant or main

theory of the pricing, of risky assets - the Mean Variance Capital

Asset Pricing Model. The relationship between the financial and real

sectors of the economy is explored as we investigate what implications

the pricing of risky assets has for the ' theory of real physical

capital investment by firms. Our fifth topic considers the empirical

testing of the MV CAPM. Alternative models of asset pricing are then

explorei, which more closely follow the expected utility (as opposed

to mean variance)., formulation of decision-making' under uncertainty.

Empirical testing of these alternative models rounds out '

the course.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS:

The course grade will, probably consist of amid-term and

a final exam plus a paper. I' am quite 'flexible as to the type of paper you

may choose towrité. ' Theoretical, empirical, ,and,su,rvey papers 'are all

acceptable. As much of the coursewill be concerned with empirical verification

of the theory I encourage' but do. not in any way, require you to consider an

empirical paper. This is open to

,,

negotitation during the

,

first week of classes.

PREREQUISITES: I

assume you have . a math,

comparable to

Economics 331 and, an understanding of basic econometric techniques.

The most natural Finance sequence is Economics 8'15'and. then Economics

817. However, historically, most students have not followed this

sequence. Therefore, while 815,is desirable , (and will provide you

with somewhat of a competitive advantage ) I will gear the cours,e to

students who 'do not necessarily have, the 815 background, i.e., we

start from scratch in developing the theories that we will test

empirically. The primary difference between our consideration of the

subset of material that overlaps between 815 and 817 is that in '817 we

will.,

work within a less rigorous mathematical framework.

ADVANCED TOPICS IN FINANCE

In order to provide some perspective for the new course a brief

review of the two existing graduate courses in financeis provided.

Economics 815, Portfolio Theory, deals with decision making under

uncertainty and its application to portfolio selection. The course covers

the expected utility and mean variance approaches to portfolio choice. Equil-

ibrium theories of asset pricing are introducedand applications to corporate

finance discussed.

Economics 817, Capital Market Theory, is primarily concerned with

formulating and testing models for pricing risky assets.

Advanced Topics in Financial Theory deals with more advanced material

from both courses -- material that we have been unable to cover due to time

constraints.

The choice of topics is eclectic. Considerable latitude will he

given to the instructor to sample from current research in the areas of

theory, testing, and applications.

Appendix B(27)

JUSTIFICATION

Most business decisions are made under uncertainty. Analytic

approach to such decisions, associated with the names of Howard

Raiffa and Robert Schlaifer and based on subjective utility theory,

is taught in virtually every university level business, program in

North America. The first part of the course will be devoted to this

prescriptive aspect of decision theory..

It is also the case, however, that.the approach has been

investigated in terms of systematic deviations from it in actual

behavior. Early detractors, such as Emile' Allais, largely restricted

their criticism to particular counter-examples, but more recent

investigations by such researchers as Tversky and Shoemaker have

been more extensive and systematic. The latter part of the course

will be devoted to a selective examination of this work.

Trends and Issues in Micro Organization Behavior

From 10 to 15 current issues will be Selected for in depth

examination on a seminar basis. The issues chosen in any one semester

will depend upon student needs; professor capabilities and trends

in current research. As, implied by the title, all of the 'chosen

issues will be concerned with micro aspects of human behavior in

organizational settings.

Each student will be given primary responsibility for 'a

subset of the total' set of issues. Within that area-of responsi-

bility the student will find, evaluate and integrate the current

research studies and theories. Findings will be reported

initially on an oral basis and then subsequently in 'written form.

Grades will be based upon

.

the quality' .of the oral and

written reports. In addition grades will be influenced by the

quality and consistencyof general contributions to the seminar

discussions.

fails to promote) the public interest. The first part of the course will consider

what is meant by promoting the public interest. Specific considerations related

to issues of market failure, income redistribution, and corporate power, will be

addressed. The second part of the course will, evaluate whether profit-seeking

behavior on the part of business organizations is consistent with promoting the

public interest. This evaluation will involve, among other things, the subject of

corporate social responsibility.
